Dynamics of Stretched Flames

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent advances in the understanding of the structure, propagation, and extinction of laminar flames under the influence of stretch, as manifested by the existence of flame curvature, flow nonuniformity, and flame motion, is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular transport effects on turbulent flame propagation and structure

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of molecular transport on turbulent flame propagation and structure are critically discussed and the results of relevant studies of perturbed laminar flames (unstable flames, flame balls, flames in vortex tubes) are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamics of stretched flames

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent advances in the understanding of the structure, propagation, and extinction of laminar flames under the influence of stretch, as manifested by the existence of flame curvature, flow nonuniformity, and flame motion, is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Flame stretch rate as a determinant of turbulent burning velocity

TL;DR: In this article, a dimensionless correlation of experimental values of turbulent burning velocities is presented and a distribution function of stretch rates in turbulent flames is proposed and the experimental data are well predicted by a theory based on flamelet extinction by flame stretch with this distribution.

Turbulent flows with premixed reactants

K. N. C. Bray
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered premixed turbulent combustion and showed that the mean rate of heat release is strongly influenced by the turbulence rather than by chemical kinetic factors, and argued that such models provide the best available compromise between complexity and generality of application.

Turbulence and turbulent flame propagation—A critical appraisal

TL;DR: In this article, the compatibility of theories of turbulence with different turbulent flame models is discussed, and it is suggested that the turbulent Reynolds number, Rλ, of the reactants is an important controlling parameter in turbulent flame propagation.
